What is a 5R55E transmission?
5R44E/5R55E/N/S/W. The 5R55E, though mechanically similar to the 4-speed 4R55E, was a new breed of electronically controlled automatic transmission with an additional forward gear. It was the first 5-speed automatic transmission to be employed by an American automaker.
What kind of transmission does the 5R55E have?
In this issue of Street Smart,we’re going to look at 2-3 flare problems in the 5R55E transmission. The 5R55E is a 5-speed automatic transmission, introduced by Ford in 1997. It’s used with the 4.0L engine in Rangers, Aerostars, Explorers and Mountaineers.
When did the Ford Ranger 5R55E come out?
The 5R55E is a 5-speed automatic transmission, introduced by Ford in 1997. It’s used with the 4.0L engine in Rangers, Aerostars, Explorers and Mountaineers. The 5R55E is mechanically the same as the 4R44E and the 4R55E. The difference is in how the computer com- mands the upshifts (figures 1 and 2).
When did the 4R44E become the 5R55E?
In 1996, with the 4.0L, the drive components were beefed up to become the 4R55E. In 1997 the unit became a 5-speed by applying the front servo to obtain an overdriven first and 5th. From that time on, it’s become either a 5R44E or 5R55E. Since 1995 there have been many valve body, plate or solenoid changes.
What does PCC do in a 5R55?
They control pressure boost in all gear ranges from park to manual 1. PCC controls reverse engagement pressure, and is directly responsible for direct clutch application in overdrive 4th, 5th, and manual 4th gears (Figure 2). All of the other solenoids are on-off type shift solenoids.
What kind of engine does the 5R55E transmission have?
The 5R55E is a 5 speed automatic that adapts to a wide variety of engines including V6, 2.3, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 liter. Included with every 5R55E transmission is it performance built lock-up torque converter.
